The charming living room boasts plush leather seating, a large flatscreen TV, and an electric fireplace to warm you up on cooler nights.

While the well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare snacks, meals, coffee, and cocktails! There's even bar seating at the large kitchen peninsula for up to 4.

Head outside to enjoy al fresco dining outdoors on the back deck while taking in amazing views of the ocean — a table with seating for up to 4 and Adirondack captain chairs are provided for your comfort!

C+ Stay
Place was not very clean. Mold on shower curtain. Beadspreads had stains and dog hair on them. Beds were not made up. Had to put sheets on ourselves after a long day of traveling and late night arrival. No blankets. Fishing station looked like a tetnus shot. Lots of junk stored under the entrance stairs. Junk stored in closets. Poor lighting made for a uncozy feel at night.

Maintenance needed
Great location, comfy living room furniture, plenty of outdoor seating as well as an easy check in process - but that's where the pros end. Property needs a lot of maintenance. Fridge is old and rusted. Nails sticking up on the porch. Sliding glass door can barely open due to dirt and rust. Windows were very dirty. Bedding and pillows were old and stained. Only one lightbulb was working in each bedroom. Fan in bathroom did not work. Couldn't find working remote for TV in bedroom. Junk in bottom of both bedroom closets. Old, broken and rusted beach chairs under stairs. Would not recommend this place to fiends or family and would not stay again.

Thanksgiving '23
9th year tradition of Thanksgiving on the beach, we love staying in Oak Island and NC beaches in general! Host/property management was very responsive and I appreciated the daily texts with info and tips on things to do in the area. Lighting could easily be improved with a couple lamps in the living area. Currently, there is only overhead lighting with only one of the bedrooms having a tableside lamp. Heating fan in bathroom is missing a knob and therefore inoperable. Overall, enjoyable stay and is best suited for a long weekend vs. extended week.

Lovely small old school place
Sweet place for a couple or small family. Great spot on the beach, has nostalgic feel for someone like me who remembers Long Beach as a kid. Needs a little better lighting inside (maybe not an issue in summer but was in mid fall), and also needs an outdoor spigot to wash off sandy feet. But highly recommended for a romantic escape.
